Highly recommended, ive had mine for 4 years with no problems, always gets compliments. I usually like wider sections but it fits great even for my hand. God bless!
A very interesting video, I have the Kaweco Brass Sports and the travellers Brass pen that I take with me whenever I go on vacation, I love the patina that these pens get. I have just bought a very beautiful Kaweco Green Celluloid LE Ballpen that was made in association with Visconti using a fabulous green marbled material, it is one of the most beautiful finishes I have seen.
Thank you for watching. Meanwhile, since the long ago making of this video I acquired that Green Celluloid set. And I agree, the material is just gorgeous. (sorry for the late reply)
Cool collection! I am working on an all brass Kaweco collection, I already own the Sport and the Liliput, next I’ll get the Special, and then get the Supra.
I bought the same Dlike brass pen but in Amazon. It was relatively inexpensive and I'm been pleasantly surprised of how good pen is so far. It's very well made, the cap sealed is excellent because I inked iy a month ago and still writes the first time I uncapped it, and the converter connects securely without any play in the nib section. The Dlike nib is more like a western F or EF, I would have preferred more like a Japanese F, however it writes smoothly. A shame I haven't found a clip to install in the cap like the Kaweko Lilliput. The travelers brass pen really interest me but so far I haven't found it at the right price, neither the Kaweko Brass Sport or the Lilliput. Thank you for the video.
I ordered it a few weeks ago out of curiosity and it appeared that this is my pen grail. Dlike EF nib writes very nice out-of-the-box. And it's quite ergonomic even I do not post. Now this is my EDC for journalling.
I bought the same Delike Brass model in this video and also a shorter version of it ( with a flat top) a few weeks ago here in India.. I found a darker version of Delike Brass advertised as ‘Vintage Brass’ and bought it just a couple of days ago. So at least 3 different Delike Brass models are still available in India. All these are decent writers and offer excellent value for money..
How much is the size of the darker pen? I wanted to buy the pen shown at 1st in this video (shorter version, moonman delike) but it's unavailable on Amazon since about a month. Please suggest me from where can I buy it!
@@dhillonjatt5197 Darker pen is of the exact same dimensions as the regular brass version (seen in this video). I see that the regular brass version and its darker version are both available on Amazon India currently, but not the shorter version. It was available a few weeks ago. Suggest you to keep a watch..
I have a few brass pens. I regret not buying the PenBBS model since it is now difficult to find. It is interesting to see how the colours vary and I don't just mean the patina. Some are a highly polished bright raw brass colour whereas others have a dull antique brass shade. On a slightly different subject, have you considered filming a 'behind the scenes' look at your OdE channel? It would be nice to see how you film your pen videos. Just an idea.
There's a big difference in the quality of the brass, too. Most Chinese brass wouldn't even be listed as brass in the west. In a way, though, this difference in quality is a god thing because despite these differences the brass is still more than strong enough for a fountain pen, and gives you a variety of colors before it patinas.
Yes, the PenBBS disapeared very quickly. The color variations is a thing I like too in metal pens. Oxidation mainly but also the finish, like the different shades of titanium. It has been a long time since this video and your comment. The behind the scenes would have been really interesting. But since then so much changed that my "recording studio" is not interesting at all and there is too much chaos around... (sorry for the late reply)
I have experience using all the brass Kaweco pens shown in this video. PenBBS nibs don’t impress me at all. I own, love and would strongly recommend the pocket Traveler’s pen. Great value, utility and performance. In my opinion, it would be the best buy from the pens you see here.
Thanks for the video. I hope to get a Kaweco Sport in Brass someday. I'm intrigued with the Traveler's pen, but I think that only comes with a fine nib and that doesn't work for me. I thought you had a Schon Dsgn Pocket Six in brass, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. Or maybe that one is copper?
I still prefer copper, steel and sterling silver most. But brass is plenty good, too. If I could only keep one of these seven pens, it would be the Traveler’s Notebook brass pen. Funnily enough, I have used all the other six pens you showed here (and I actually own the Supra Brass).
I am aligned with your opinion... Copper and steel are my favourite. I like the Travler's Notebook a lot. But I forget to use it enough. (sorry for the late reply)
Should not. It has different properties and it is better for hand held devices (corrosion resistance). There are also pure copper pens but they should not be mixed with brass.
Brass and copper are not only anti-bacterial but are also used to make cups and the like because drinking water from them also offers health benefits. Stainless steel is neutral. Aluminum is safe enough, but I wouldn't cook in aluminum kitchenware, and I wouldn't drink from an aluminum cup. It's yet unproven, but there may be a link between aluminum and Alzheimer's. It's certain that extremely small pieces of aluminum can pass through the blood/brain barrier and cause severe problems, including death. There is certainly no danger in using aluminum pens, but it's just as certain that aluminum offers zero health benefits.
@@sathishrao7926 I love that smell, and the brass is anti-bacterial, so that smell means you're helping your heath. Bacteria often gets in the body from hand to mouth transfer, so think about that when you smell brass on your hands.
It's quite safe unless you put the pen in your mouth for hours on end. As previously stated, it's anti-microbial/disinfectant. So in some ways it's even sorta "good" You don't have to worry much about residual on your hands, it's usually oxidized already anyway. It's more so about clean, fresh brass or copper that you need to worry slightly.
Its funny because they selling *Brass* like some sort of premium material, while literally almost all metal fountain pens are indeed Brass, they are just lacquered or painted to hide the dirty and smelly brass...
Well, no, not really. Brass is neither dirty nor smelly. Saying it's dirty is just silly and you should know better. And you may not like the smell, but many, most of us, love it which is why quality brass pens sell so well. They cover the brass because they use such cheap brass that no one could tell it's brass by looking at it. There's brass, and then there's good brass. Chinese brass is extremely low quality. Most of it that's covered looks like stainless steel, and it dents very, very easily. And if you've ever removed the finish from a Pilot Metropolitan you know it uses a low-grade brass, too. There simply isn't any reason to use high quality brass if you're going to cover it up with a finish. The brass they use is actually cheaper than using aluminum, which MANY metal pens use. There are more aluminum bodied pens on the market than brass pens, and if they cover the "brass" with anything, you're buying very, very, very low-quality brass. When you do get higher quality brass in Chinese pens, it will be very, very thin. Scrap brass is only a couple of dollars per pound, but you never know the quality, and brass is not easy to work with, so most companies use it sparingly, and thinly, and the pens will usually be round and have no facets. There are cheats to this, ways of making a lousy brass look like high quality brass, which is why you can sometimes find Kaweco Brass Sport clones for three or four dollars. But don't be fooled. You really do often get what you pay for, and this is almost always true of brass. You may not like brass pens, but most of us love them, if they use high quality brass. By the sales numbers, you are in a very small minority.
Brass is 90% copper. Copper is a pretty expensive metal, much more so than steel. Buy 1 ton of copper, vs 1 ton of steel and you'll see it is multiple times as expensive.
@@Stormcloakvictory . What I could find is that brass is sth like 50-90 percent copper. Also for 50g pen material cost for copper would be sth like 1USD and for steel more like 0,1USD which sounds irrelevant for a pen which costs much more, where nib unit alone is sth like 20USD. What I understand brass is softer and easy to machine unlike stainless steel. We can see ironically that for instance Kaweco sport stainless steel is more expensive than Kaweco sport brass...
I think brass is just a popular material for pen making and there are a lot of people who like metal pens that tarnish over time, such as brass, copper or silver.
Suddenly now I want a Traveler's.
Highly recommended, ive had mine for 4 years with no problems, always gets compliments. I usually like wider sections but it fits great even for my hand. God bless!
I'm a bit surprised you don't have one already, tbh.
It is a very nice pen...

The Kaweco brass markup pencil is also a nice compliment to the brass pens.
Thank you! The Kaweco full set is nice. And the clutch pencil can be added to the collection also!

At the time I saw some variations. But then I decided this one was enough. But yes, it is a very decent pen.
(sorry for the late reply)
Thank you so much for this review! I didn't realize that the Supra could be configured to be the same size as the Liliput.
Thank you! Yes... Same length but wider.
(sorry for the late reply)
This was a very fun video! I don't have any brass pens (yet!), but I do have three of these pens in different materials.
That is fun... It is fun to have pens in different materials, namely different metals.
I love bass pens .
Me too. But I love copper pens even more!
great video for the brass pen lovers :) thank you
Thank you so much!

Of the seven, which one do you recommend for its best performance?

@@sajjadhusain4146 Thanks Sajjad.
@@alibede ..Oh, it’s my pleasure, my friend. Buy the Traveler’s Notebook brass pen when you can. 🙂
I would choose the Kaweco Supra or the Traveler's pen. But they really are meant for different uses, in my opinion.
I'm curious if the clip on the Kaweko Supra would fit on the Delike?
It is too loose. I think we can deform the clip enough to fit tightly but I didn't try to do it. As it is, it is too loose.
Very nice video. Like your pens. Thank you for this video. BLESSINGS
Thank you so much for watching.

I suppose brass is called copper in certain languages sometimes because it's still a copper alloy with around 90% copper content.
(Usually even more)
Should not. It has different properties and it is better for hand held devices (corrosion resistance). There are also pure copper pens but they should not be mixed with brass.
It shouldn't be. Although there is copper in brass it doesn't make brass the same as copper.
22:18 I post it, it isn't that big.....it's way shorter than a pencil
It is... 😊
Is it healty to use brass pens brother?
Can’t comment on how healthy these pens are, but my fingers smell brass if I don’t wash them with soap after I use one of these brass pens !
Brass and copper is anti bacterial so... well... wash your hand before eating
Brass and copper are not only anti-bacterial but are also used to make cups and the like because drinking water from them also offers health benefits. Stainless steel is neutral.

The Japanese is likely the best one
Hard to say... I love the Kawecos...
Its funny because they selling *Brass* like some sort of premium material, while literally almost all metal fountain pens are indeed Brass, they are just lacquered or painted to hide the dirty and smelly brass...
Truth be told, it may as well be a premium material, since most fountain pens are made of plastic, including Mont Blanc.
Well, no, not really. Brass is neither dirty nor smelly. Saying it's dirty is just silly and you should know better. And you may not like the smell, but many, most of us, love it which is why quality brass pens sell so well.
